Mindy Kaling is reportedly expecting a baby girl. News of the actress's pregnancy broke this summer, just a week after Architectural Digest gave readers an inside look at Kaling’s colorful Los Angeles home. Not long after that, Kaling spoke out for the first time about having a child, and how it is so "unknown" to her. And now, in a recent interview, Kaling's Mindy Project costar Ed Weeks has subtly shared news of her baby's gender. “The show started as a tribute to [Mindy's] mother, who very sadly passed away just as the show was being picked up, and ends with her having a daughter of her own.” Weeks said. "When [Mindy] reminded us all of that, we all cried at the final table read.”

In the past, the creator and star of The Mindy Project has repeatedly discussed her desire to have children. And while a baby will no doubt keep Kaling's hands full, she also has a series of other high profile projects in the works. In 2018, Kaling will star in the Ava DuVernay–directed adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved book, A Wrinkle in Time. Kaling will appear in the film alongside actresses Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon, all of whom were seen together on a rip-roaring New Zealand-set shooting fest last year. This however isn't the only major film on the horizon for Kaling in 2018. The actress will also star in Ocean’s Eight, an all-female remake of the classic film, alongside Rihanna, Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway, Katie Holmes, and more. Looks like next year will bring a series of big arrivals for Mindy Kaling! Congratulations again, to the incredibly successful mom-to-be.
